The 5 Best Commander Cards From Kamigawa Neon Dynasty | Magic: The Gathering 

@GRUMMLER You may say it but it'd be stronger with evidence. Do you have any?

Me too. This game is great

I love this. Thanks for pointing that out! I'm still fairly new to the game, especially when it comes to the more technical aspects like this, so it's always helpful when somebody points something like this out!

@@jonathanrobinson8926 yeah, it’s a little thing that doesn’t get much direct attention, but can make a big difference sometimes. Whenever a card is NOT on the field, it’s a “card” when it’s on the stack it’s a “spell” or an “effect” only permanents on the field are referred to without being called cards or spells (because tokens aren’t cards, technically) it’s like how “when cast” and “when enter” have different timing

Oooh, the nitty gritty rules lawyering, this is the real content I'm looking for.

@@telefeeb1 Holy crap! Didn''t realise! This is awesome.

@@irreleverent that’s where it’s line “creatures AND creature cards of chosen type” comes in, the only part that was unusual is that it also included cards not in play activating effects. I still think it’s pretty fascinating that the reason in the rules for tokens ceasing to exist outside the battlefield literally comes down to “tokens are not cards and cannot be cards.” It would be incredible to see something that created a “card token” in a place outside the battlefield. Which is something hearthstone abuses constantly due to not being a physical card game

It's an amazing card for Commander.

Containment Construct literally convinced me to build a Daretti deck for EDH

Well sure it's good, but Mirrorworks already exists, so I don't understand why I should play a creature, vulnerable to removal and board wipes. Also, for Mirrorworks, you don't need coloured mana, and it goes in any colour deck. So how is replication specialist any better than Mirrorworks?

@@nadrojylrach9637 valid point

@Nadroj because this is a video about cards that are good in Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. Mirrorworks isn't IN this set. That and I'd wager that a new Uncommon is probably significantly cheaper than an old Rare. So people that are on a budget or purposefully playing alternate cards instead of "the absolute best" can use this.

As a phyrexian Vorthos player in our casual meta, I am so excited for the stirrings of a return in the lore. 😁

New to magic could you explain this part or drop a link that does

@@adeadlybeastkiller So there is a lot of old lore being brought back in recent sets, which is very exciting, but also can be understandably confusing without some explanation. In the last few sets we have begun to see some new movements from the Phyrexians which are an older group of villains from the past that I am particularly in love with. Here is a link to the wiki that has a lot of info on them, I hope you enjoy!! mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Phyrexia This joke the Professor made specifically referred to the act of "Compleation" (it looks like a typo, but it isnt), which is something the Phyrexians do to things to make them "perfect" in their own eyes, as well as the Planeswalker Tamiyo, who is a fan-favorite character who tragically has undergone this terrible process in the most recent set. I am super into Phyrexian history and lore, so if you want to discuss any more, I would be more than happy to do so!! More specifically, here is an article on Compleation, mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Compleation And another on Tamiyo mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Tamiyo#google_vignette Again, I hope you enjoy!!

@@jonathanrobinson8926 i might take you up on that thanks, my other question is where do you find the official lore or is it pieced together by the fans then posted also if you havent seen the launch trailer for neon kamigawa its hype

Not as soon as the Wizards valentine's card "You compleat me"

and it's perfect slot in for arahbo cats in hats it's both a cat and a hat, what more could you want

It's Scavenging Ooze with an upside. Hard not to love it.

@@TheGprinziv it loses the occasional lifegain of scooze, but I do agree that in most situations lion sash is better, which is exciting

@@PwnedintheFaceStudio True. I'm still a bit of a noob to the game, so when I saw it I wasn't even comparing it to Ooze! 😅 Super cool to see multiple options like that though, both with their own unique upsides. I definitely feel like Sash could be particularly useful in something like Voltron where it can be somewhat evasive to removal and also pump up your creatures fast, but again, I'm pretty new comparatively.

i dug to far to see that comment !

That's the second legend rule. The original was (shortend) if a legend of the ame name as another legendary Permanent would come into play, all but the one that has been a legendary Permanent the longest are put into the graveyard. With this rule, if I had a greel mind raker in play and my opponent played another one, their greel would be sent to the graveyard, while mine would stay in play. This changed to the second rule in 2004 just before the original ravnica set.

Farewell makes me really afraid, having just built a reanimator deck.

Agreed, at 6CMC it’s just a little over costed

No doubt an exceptionally good card. Exiling is such a big deal

6 isn't too bad late game and cost could be reduced. Its not bad at 6, just not insane.

Okay, but it's not as insane as you think. It's a symmetrical board wipe. It hits you as well. And white has good creatures, artifacts, enchantments and graveyard synergies/recursion. Is it really worth it? No, I'd still rather blow stuff up to have stuff in the graveyard for recursion purposes.

I am!

Pog! Love the energy 🥰 Also I'm going to my first prerelease on Friday and I'm so excited!

I've thought about it but I'm not sure what you take out for it unless you're in monoblue or maybe two colour. There are so many great utility lands that tap for blue.

@@Sabin41 literally any island unless youre consistently running out of basics to fetch. 3 color and below is an auto include except in specific exceptions. Beyond that it's personal preference

@@theanimeghost1478 Basics are good because - fetchable, mystic sanctuary, back to basics, blood moon etc. You probably want at least 3 of them and in a 3 colour deck you'll probably want other basics, utility etc. Like it competes with Cephallid Colloseum, Castle Vantress, TWest, Mystic Sanctuary etc for your blue lands that aren't basics.

Tbh the only creature type that fit was fox but i think they made them dogs in order for them to have more support and to not raise any questions on how there are sapient and non-sapient foxes on the same plane.

@@Nobody-zl3kk I think it has more to do with the fact that the tanukis living in modern day Japan are refered to as raccon dogs and not raccon foxes

@@fredrikhenriksson1508 That too! Although i just heard that in passing, as in, i only saw one comment somewhere saying that, so i didn't want to say it inthe case that it turned out to be misinformation or smth.
